Gracie and Josh


Gracie and Josh
Susanne Gervay Illustrator Serena Geddes
Ford Street Publishing


Gracie and Josh is one of those rare books, which takes a hard and gut wrenching topic and approaches it in such a delightful way, both adult and child reader, will thoroughly enjoy and learn from it. A story about a brother and sister relationship, and the effect of battling cancer. 

So brilliantly created, with story and illustrations intricately blended, this book does not even mention the word cancer, but delicately assumes some knowledge of child illnesses. This illness does not become the focus of the book, but the means by which Gracie and Josh take every moment of life as a precious gift. 


A sweet telling of siblings loving each other, enjoying each others, and rising above what life throws at them.
